WASHINGTON, b. c.. Jan. l6.
! Congressman Milikens bill providing for
tbs purchase Or condemnation by the gov m
ment of the property south OF Pennsylvania
Avenue AND between Ninth and Fifteenth
streets in Washington for public purposes il
exciting good deal of favorable comment.
Hitherto no enlightened policy has been pur
sued in procuring sltes Tor pubic buildings
At the capitol of the nation. Lots haze been
purchased here and there without regard to
convenience of locality until the public BALD
inys have become so scattered that those who
go to W a.hington TO 10 business at the depart
ments So well as congressman and others
who reside there. find it necessary to spend
double the time and labor that would be re-
CURED were the public buildings properly
located. Mr.. Miiliken's plan proposes to
remedy this evil az to future government
buildings, to clear up and besutify part of
the city which Ia now Disgrace to the ns-
tional capitol, and it will be much more
economical thsn the course heretofore pur-

Off ,e, city government building, quarters for
the Signal Services Bureau, all of which now
are in old, shabby, tumbled down structures,
utterly unfit for use, and will save one hun
dred thousand dollars annual rent which the
governme Mt is now paying for these entirely
inadequate and miserable accommodations.
The Washington Republican says Mr.. Mil
liken deserves the thanks of the people for
Introducing his bill. and qualification is ex-
pressed that the work of providing suitable
public buildings in Washington has been
taken in hand by one Who hold. enlightened
and comprehensive views upon the subject.

readers will agree with me that such display
was in bad taste. Both, however, are most

The Senate bill giving pension of 81 900
to the widow of Senstor Logan, has struck
snag somewhere in the House. Just what is
the trouble does not appear. II is rumored
that the President has minated to some
member of the pension committee thst be

The Murdered Girl identified.

RAILWAY, N. j., March 31.-The
mystery surrounding the identity
of the young girl who was found
murdered here last Friday night
has at last been solved. Mr.. Ed
ridge, president of the Hudson
River and Maine Ice Company,
who resides at G47 Green avenue,
Brooklyn, this afternoon identified
the body as that OF Mary Cregan,
a servant girl, who had been for a
short time employed at his house.
The girl, he said, came to Brook
Ign from Syracuse, N. Y, about
a month ago, seeking employment
as a domestic. She had suddenly
disappeared from the house, and
nothing has been learned OF her
whereabouts. Mr.. EIdridge is at a
loss to account for her mysterious
death, and can give no clue to the
perpetrators.

SpRING FARM CLEANING.

While the wife cleans the house,
let the husband clean the farm. If
vegetable matter is left about the
yard, its rapid decay during the
damp, warm weather Of spring and
summer, will poison the air and af-
feet the health Of the family. If
left about the barn, lots and fields,
1t will have a like influence on the
farm animals. Hogs are doubly
liable TO be injured, for they not
only breathe the touled air, but
nest in such litter. Farm cleaning
will save loss from disease. The
litter has great value as fertilizer
when properly applied. The intelli.
gent use OF this manure ensures
better crops, and the farm IS capa-
BILE of a more thorough cultivation.
And then how much appearances
are improved. Make a bonfire of
pieces OF wood, brush, stumps, etc,
not fit for fuel, and give the char
coal to the swine and the ashes to
the fruit trees. Remember this
work is not complete until those
stumps and stones are removed
which can be taken out with a
reasonable amount Of labor; until
the trees about the house and in the
orchard are pruned; until the old
growth is taken from raspberries,
gooseberries, currants, ETC.; until
all the "underbrush' is cleared out
of the wood lot; until all the
bitches are opened and pools are
drained in short until the farm is
clean and neat. Conveniently
enough, nearly all, or all of this
work, can be done before the spring
blowing is begun.
